For this ethical problem I find myself in the position where I discover that there is a major flaw with the design of a car, as a result there is a high chance of one of the first production cars causing serious injury or killing a pedestrian.
As members of the IET, it is our responsibility to raise our concerns if we see malpractice that could lead to series injury or death. If we failed to raise our concerns through the appropriate means, we could be subject to disciplinary action.
If myself or one of my teammates decided to become a whistleblower then the company should have procedures in place in order for us to raise our concerns. If they do not have such procedures, a report may have to be made with an external organisation. Ultimately the company should not discriminate against my team, as making a protected disclosure which is known as whistleblowing is a protected act in most companies.
To conclude, as the team leader of delta, I would encourage my team to raise their concerns with the appropriate bodies/people if they saw wrongdoing. I am confident that each member of my team would blow the whistle in relation to the problem I outlined earlier.
